Early Performance and Genetic Parameters for Atlantic Coastal and Piedmont Loblolly Pine and Their Hybrids in the Piedmont
(2003)Atlantic Coastal (C) and Piedmont (P) loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) sources and their hybrids were assessed at four years of age for height and survival in 15 test sites across five Piedmont regions (Piedmont, Upper Gulf, ... -
Efficacy of Breeding for Brown Spot Disease Resistance in Longleaf Pine
(2003)The study objective was to determine whether selection for brown spot disease (caused by Scirrhia acicola (Dearn.) Siggers) resistance in longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) is beneficial for areas where brown spot is ... -
Evaluation of an Open-Nucleus Model for Forest Tree Breeding
(2003)Open-nucleus breeding was evaluated by stochastic simulation. Methodology was developed for unrestricted migration rate between two tiers (main and elite). Genetic progress in the breeding population was iteratively maximized ... -
Evaluation of Height as an Early Selection Criterion for Volume and Predictor of Site Index Gain in the Western Gulf
(2003)Data from repeated periodic measures of height, diameter and volume from eleven loblolly pine progeny tests maintained as part of the Western Gulf Forest Tree Improvement Program (WGFTIP) were analyzed to 1) determine the ... -
Evaluation of the Inheritance of Tip Moth Susceptibility Using Pine Hybrids Planted in Southeast Mississippi
(2003)Nineteen families of susceptible and resistant pine parent species and their interspecific hybrid progenies were quantitatively assessed for Nantucket pine tip moth (Rhyacionia frustrana Comstock) damage in a study in ... -
Field Performance of Shortleaf Pine Half-Sib Families Though 10 Years in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas
(2003)Shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata Mill.) seeds collected from six half-sib families were grown as both bareroot and container stock and outplanted on two sites in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas. Survival and growth were ... -
Field Selection of American Sweetgum Transformed for Herbicide Resistance
(2003)One American sweetgum clone from an open-pollinated parent was transformed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens containing the gene for acetolactate synthase (ALS), and regenerated through organogenesis. Seventy independently ... -
Fourth-Year Results from a Clonal Test of Loblolly Pine
(2003)In November and December 1998, two experimental plantings were established using rooted cuttings from 450 clones of eight unrelated full-sib families of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.). Clones from four of the families (282 ... -
Functional Genomics Pipeline in Loblolly Pine and Eastern Cottonwood
(2003)Advances in transformation technology allow functional genomics techniques that are commonly applied to Arabidopsis thaliana to be considered for tree species. ArborGen is applying the principles of high throughput functional ... -
Genetic Analysis of a Disease Resistance Gene from Loblolly Pine
(2003)Rapid advances in molecular genetics provide great opportunities for studies of host defense mechanisms. Examination of plant responses to disease at the cellular and molecular level permits both discovery of changes in ... -
Genetic Variation in Stone Pine Half-Sib Progenies
(2003)Total height, annual height growth, root collar diameter, total number of branches and total number of buds around the leader bud were recorded at age 6. The experimental material was included 136 half-sib families originating ... -
Genetic Variation of Juvenile Wood Properties in a Loblolly Pine Diallel Test
(2003)The reduced rotation age for loblolly pine plantations has resulted in an increased percentage of juvenile wood. Juvenile wood has lower wood density, shorter tracheid length and higher lignin content than mature wood. The ... -
Geographic Information Systems(GIS) and Virtual Reality Models (VRM) to Improve the Analysis of Genetic and Silvicultural Trials
(2003)GIS systems have become core tools for mapping needs in forestry. During the last decade software platforms have expanded the basic capabilities of data storage and retrieval in map formats. Complex overlay procedures, ... -
High Efficiency Transformation of Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) Using Green Fluorescent Protein as a Vital Screenable Marker
(2003)An engineered green fluorescent protein (m-gfp5-ER) gene under the control of the 35S Cauliflower Mosaic Virus promoter was used to develop a facile and rapid loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) transformation system via ... -
Implementation of Third-Cycle Loblolly Pine Breeding Plan - N. C. State University-Industry Cooperative Tree Improvement Program
(2003)The N. C. State University-Industry Cooperative Tree improvement Program has officially completed two cycles of loblolly pine breeding and testing program. As the third cycle selections are being completed, an efficient, ...
